Turnstone, Titchwell beach, Norfolk
29 February 2016
These were pottering around right in front of me, so I
couldn't resist the odd snap.

Curlew, Titchwell beach, Norfolk
29 February 2016
I spent some time trying for wader flight shots along the tide
line, but only this and the Oystercatcher (below) came close.
Great light again.

As above, but closer. |

Bar-tailed Godwit, Brancaster Staithe Harbour, Norfolk
29 February 2016
As I've found previously, this
easily accessible location has some photo opportunities using the
car as a hide.

Lapland Bunting, Blakeney Freshmarsh, Norfolk
28
February 2016
One a several reasonably obliging birds coming to seed from time
to time in the glorious afternoon light. |

Lapland Bunting, Blakeney Freshmarsh, Norfolk

February 2016
As above - but a male. |
 |
Stonechat, Blakeney Freshmarsh, Norfolk
28 February
2016
Taken en-route to the Lapland Bunting site. This bird seemed much
more obliging than those in Oxon. |

Snow Bunting, Dun Hill, nr Burnham Overy Staithe, Norfolk
28 February 2016
No sign of the Shore Larks here, but
these Snow Buntings were some compensation. |

Snow Bunting, Dun Hill, nr Burnham Overy Staithe, Norfolk

Probably the closest shot I managed. |

Barn Owl, Shernborne, Norfolk
27 February 2016
This bird was right by the roadside and tolerated a surprisingly
close approach, which allowed this frame filling shot to be taken
from the car at dusk using ISO 3200.

White Stork, Welney WTT, Norfolk
27 February 2016
This surprise visitor turned up while we were there. On hearing
the news we quickly made our way to the visitor centre where it
was, somewhat distantly, on the nearby scape.
It
later transpired that although this bird was ringed and tagged in
Poland, it was almost certainly then imported with others into the
UK in captivity and has now become part of a nearby free-flying
collection. Hence certainly not tick-able! |

Whooper Swan, Welney WTT, Norfolk
27 February 2016
From the main hide complex, towards the 15:30 feeding time...
